Please remember, limiting our interactions with others is our best defence against COVID-19. Please don’t visit the hospital if you don’t need to. The following level 2 visitor restrictions are in place for all Canterbury DHB health facilities:

Visitors will be screened and asked to provide contact details upon arrival

Visitors who are unwell or have suspicion of COVID-19 will not be able to enter

Aged residential care: no visitors, however, family visits for palliative care residents who do not have COVID-19 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

As a teenager you need more sleep than ever, but you also have to deal with increasing school work, sport, and your own life.

It's also a time when you are increasing your independence and making decisions for yourself. Making good decisions about when and how you sleep – like having a regular bed time and wake-up time – can improve your mood, energy, and performance.
